EPA Sets SNURs for 57 Chemicals

The Environmental Protection Agency is amending significant new use rules (SNURs) under the Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA) for 57 chemical substances that were the subject of premanufacture notices (PMNs) (here). As a result of the SNURs, persons planning to manufacture, import or process any of the chemicals for an activity that is designated as a significant new use by this rule are required to notify EPA at least 90 days in advance. The direct final rule takes effect Jan. 17.
